| The study of history involves the use of a wide array of sources and methodologies to effect an imaginative reconstruction of the past. Once preoccupied with politics and ideas, historians have broadened the scope of their enquiry to consider economic and social history, as well as the history of culture and collective mentalities. Their efforts of historical reconstruction are useful for the knowledge they provide concerning the origin and nature of contemporary institutions and societies, in addition to the insights they provide into the range of human experience and behaviour. The student of history will be introduced to historical sources and methods, as well as to some of the essential problems of historical interpretation. A major in history opens the way to a variety of careers, including journalism, university and high school teaching, specialized work in archives and museums, and employment in civil service departments like the Department of External Affairs. At the same time it provides an excellent liberal education for those who contemplate careers in law or politics.
If you want to undertake an Honours program you will need to apply for entry and be accepted by the department or program that offers the major. Faculty members spend more time with Honours majors than with most of their other undergraduate students (a lot more supervision is required) and so they want to make sure that you will have what it takes to complete the program. To be considered for admission you must have completed all of the Faculty of Arts' core requirements and have averages of 70% in your overall program to date and 75% in all courses already attempted in the major. You may be considered if you have averages that are just slightly below these cut-off points. Averages will be calculated only on courses taken at the University of Regina. Some departments or programs may have additional requirements; please ask the relevant department or program Head for details.
